Crop weed competition pdf
Weeds compete with crops for nutrients, moisture, space, sunlight and can release allelopathic compounds that inhibit crop growth. Weeds remove significant amounts of nutrients from the soil each season. They also transpire at higher rates than crops and can form dense canopies that shade out crops. The critical period of weed-crop competition varies by crop but is typically early in the growth cycle. Factors like weed density and species, soil fertility, moisture levels, pH, and climate can influence the intensity of competition between weeds and crops. Timely weed management is important for optimal crop yields.

Alternate bearing in mango and apple
Alternate bearing refers to the tendency of some plants to produce heavy yields of fruit in one year followed by a light yield the next year in a cyclical pattern. This causes significant economic problems for growers by creating inconsistent supply and lower quality crops in heavy yield years. Several theories exist for the cause of alternate bearing, including hormonal imbalance and competition between vegetative and reproductive growth, and it can be influenced by both endogenous genetic and environmental factors. Common measures used by growers to overcome biennial bearing include proper orchard management, regulating flowering, thinning crops, pruning, and growing cultivars less prone to the issue.

Intercultural practices ,Cultural practices in Agrecultural
This document discusses various intercultural practices for crops including weeding, mulching, earthing up, thinning, and gap filling. Weeding involves removing weeds to reduce competition for crops. Mulching involves covering the soil to conserve moisture by reducing evaporation. Earthing up lifts soil around crop bases to improve anchorage and prevent lodging. Thinning removes excess seedlings to avoid overcrowding. Gap filling replants areas where seedlings did not establish to optimize plant population. The goal of thinning and gap filling is to ensure an optimum plant density. Various tools are used for different intercultural operations.
Dry land agriculture
This document discusses dryland agriculture, which refers to growing crops entirely through rainfall. It can be divided into dry farming (<750mm rainfall), dryland farming (750-1150mm rainfall), and rainfed farming (>1150mm rainfall). Dry farming occurs in arid regions and has frequent crop failures due to low and variable rainfall. Dryland farming occurs in semi-arid regions and has less frequent crop failures. Rainfed farming occurs in humid regions and has rare crop failures. The document also discusses various irrigation techniques like surface, localized, and subsurface irrigation that help supplement rainfall for crop growth.
methods of sowing Of crops
There are several different sowing methods for planting seeds, each with advantages and disadvantages. The main methods discussed are broadcasting, drilling or line sowing, dibbling, transplanting, and putting seeds behind the plough. Broadcasting involves scattering seeds over a prepared field by hand, while drilling places seeds in rows using an implement. Dibbling positions seeds individually using a dibbler. Transplanting involves growing seedlings in a nursery and then transplanting them. Putting seeds behind the plough drops seeds into furrows made by a plough. Factors like the type of crop, soil moisture, and costs determine which sowing method is best.

1. Tribal farmers in the Garo Hills region of Meghalaya practice a method of rice cultivation called double transplanting to combat flooding from heavy rains.
2. In double transplanting, seedlings are first transplanted to a nursery bed, then to a secondary nursery bed, and finally to the main field. This allows for flexible late transplanting.
3. A study found that double transplanting led to 83% higher yields than single transplanting, due to stronger seedlings with more tillers and panicles. Despite higher costs, double transplanting was more profitable due to much higher returns.

Vertical farming
This document discusses vertical farming as a solution to issues with traditional agriculture. Vertical farming grows crops in stacked layers and controlled environments. It has several advantages over traditional farming like increased crop yields, protection from weather, reduced water and land usage, and higher quality produce. A proposed vertical farm design could support 15,000 people on 0.25 hectares of land through multiple stacking, compared to needing 68 hectares with traditional farming. While the initial costs are higher, vertical farming uses fewer resources and has higher yields. It has potential to help address issues like increasing population, loss of arable land, and food security in cities. However, it also faces challenges like higher energy costs than traditional farming.
Turmeric cultivation
Scientists at the Central Institute for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants have developed a new high-yielding turmeric variety called CIM-Pitamber after 8 years of research. This variety is expected to yield 60-65 tonnes of rhizomes per hectare, more than double the yield of existing varieties. It is also more tolerant to leaf blotch disease and contains higher levels of curcuminoids. Adopting this new variety will enable turmeric farmers to double their income by doubling their yields. However, simply developing new varieties alone may not be enough to double farmer incomes - policy reforms to fertilizer subsidies, land leasing, farm credit and insurance are also needed.
System of wheat intensification - SWI
This document describes the System of Wheat Intensification (SWI) method for increasing wheat yields. SWI involves widely spacing wheat plants to allow for better root and shoot growth through increased sunlight, aeration and organic matter. Key practices include line sowing seeds at 20x20cm spacing, using improved seeds, seed treatment, incorporating compost, and mechanical weeding. Trials in Uttar Pradesh found SWI increased the number of tillers per plant to 25-30 compared to 4-5 with normal methods. Panicle length and grains per panicle also increased. While harvest data was not yet available, SWI showed potential for 25% higher grain yields in a sustainable way with lower seed rates and chemical inputs
System of mustard intensification SMI
Farmers in Bihar, India have doubled their rapeseed (mustard) yields using Sustainable Rapeseed Intensification (SMI) methods inspired by the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). SMI involves low seed rates, seed priming, transplanting young seedlings in squares with wide spacing, mechanical weeding, and increased irrigation. Yields of 2.5 to 3 tons per hectare have been reported, compared to 1 ton with conventional methods. SMI can increase incomes for farmers while reducing chemical use and sustaining soil quality.
Sugarcane trench method planting
1. The document describes the trench method planting technique for sugarcane that can increase productivity. It involves making trenches, placing fertilizer and two rows of sugarcane sets in each trench.
2. Field demonstrations using this technique along with site-specific nutrient management in Uttar Pradesh led to improved germination from 38% to 64% and increased average yields from 675 quintals/hectare to 1000 quintals/hectare, doubling district productivity.
3. Variety CO 0238 is highlighted as a promising early variety for the Northwestern zone of India that has achieved the highest ever sugar recovery recorded in subtropical India.
Sugarcane & potato intercropping
Sugarcane and potato intercropping can help double farmer incomes in India. The document proposes planting sugarcane in October followed by potato intercropping. This minimizes risk and makes efficient use of resources as potato grows between the widely spaced sugarcane rows. Economic analysis shows sole sugarcane yields Rs. 97,190 income while sugarcane-potato intercropping yields Rs. 263,950, more than doubling income. Intercropping benefits include higher total yields, additional potato income, and efficient land use.
Stakeholder consultation
This document summarizes the strategic plan to double farmer income in India by 2022. It outlines that the Prime Minister and Finance Minister have made doubling farmer income a priority. It will require annual growth of 14.86% over the next 5-6 years. The plan includes seven strategies focusing on irrigation, seeds, warehousing, food processing, markets, insurance, and ancillary activities. Past strategies focused on output, but did not consider income. Multiple sources will contribute to income growth, including productivity, diversification, and non-farm activities. National programs and stakeholder consultation are part of the approach. Current data shows average farmer income needs to double to meet the goal. Coordinated efforts across states and sectors are needed
Skip furrow irrigation in sugarcane
This document summarizes a presentation on skip furrow irrigation in sugarcane farming. It discusses that sugarcane is widely cultivated in India, but traditional irrigation methods use excessive water and have other problems. Skip furrow irrigation is presented as a solution, where every two sugarcane plants a furrow is made for irrigation, saving 30-40% water. The method involves planting setts in rows with furrows between every two rows for irrigation. It provides advantages like water savings, higher yields and reduced costs compared to traditional methods. Economic analysis shows that skip furrow irrigation increases net income for farmers by 84,671 rupees compared to traditional irrigation.
Sewage fed fish culture
This document discusses sewage-fed fish culture as a new approach to pond fishing that has several advantages. Treated sewage water is rich in nutrients and can be used for aquaculture at low cost, requiring no fertilizer or supplemental feeding. The sewage undergoes sedimentation, dilution with fresh water, and storage with duckweeds to remove contaminants before use in fish ponds. Higher stocking densities and regular harvesting provide high production and profits. Sewage-fed fish culture improves water quality while generating additional income for farmers.
Sandalwood cultivation
This document discusses sandalwood cultivation in India. It notes that over 250,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide in the last 16 years due to issues like water management, GM crops, and socio-cultural factors. Sandalwood cultivation is profitable with a high demand and low maintenance needs. India currently produces 400 tonnes annually, though cultivation has expanded to 2800 hectares in recent years. Sandalwood grows well in hot, humid climates with red sandy loam soil and reaches maturity in 10-15 years with host plants, yielding profits of over 2.7 crore rupees per acre. The government encourages and subsidizes sandalwood cultivation.
Ring pit method of sugarcane
This document describes the ring pit method of sugarcane planting which involves digging pits arranged in a grid pattern, filling them with soil and organic amendments, and planting sugarcane setts. This method increases yield by promoting a single main shoot per pit rather than tillers. Yields of 65-70 tons/ha have been achieved using this method on half the land area compared to traditional planting. The technique provides drought resistance and allows other crops to be grown on the remaining land.
Food processing
The document discusses strategies for doubling farmers' income in India by 2022. It notes that past strategies focused on increasing agricultural output but did not explicitly aim to raise farmers' incomes. Key sources of growth identified to meet the 10.4% annual growth target include improving productivity, diversifying crops, increasing processing levels, and strengthening market linkages. Various central government schemes are outlined that aim to boost production, post-harvest management, marketing, food processing, and provide training and financing support to help achieve the goal of doubling farmers' incomes.
Polyhouse Technology
This document discusses polyhouse farming and its advantages over traditional open field cultivation. Some key points:
1) Polyhouses allow for precise control of environmental factors like temperature, light, and humidity, enabling optimal growth conditions for crops.
2) They provide protected environments that allow plants to reach their full potential, improving yields.
3) Polyhouse farming has lower costs than traditional methods and higher returns due to increased production volumes.
Piggery farming
This document summarizes rice-wheat-moong crop rotation and piggery farming practices in India. It discusses the cultivation of rice, wheat, and moong crops common among small and marginal farmers. Details are provided on sowing, harvesting seasons, yields and costs. Piggery farming is also described as a profitable business. Key points covered include housing and feeding practices for pigs, breeding cycles, and costs and profits from rearing 100 pigs over 6 months, which amounts to a total profit of Rs. 294,200. The annual income generated from rice-wheat-moong rotation is estimated to be Rs. 80,483.
Paddy cum- fish culture
This document discusses paddy-cum-fish culture as a technique for integrated fish and rice farming. It provides details on the history and development of rice-fish culture, site selection considerations, suitable fish and rice varieties, culture techniques, trench designs, advantages and disadvantages. An economic analysis compares the net return from traditional paddy cultivation versus paddy-cum-fish culture, finding that the integrated system provides over double the income. The conclusion states that rice-fish culture is an innovative system that boosts rice yields, generates additional income from fish, and helps reduce farmer poverty while creating jobs.
Multi tier cropping system
This document discusses multi-tier cropping systems for vegetable production in India. It provides examples of vegetable-based multi-tier systems including elephant foot yam grown with bitter gourd, ridge gourd, or bottle gourd. Data shows these intercropping systems can increase total yields and incomes compared to sole cropping. Multi-tier systems make better use of space, resources, and provide continuous income from multiple crops. While labor intensive, multi-tier cropping improves soil health and supports more sustainable agricultural production.
Leaf Color chart (LCC)
The document discusses nitrogen management in rice using a Leaf Color Chart (LCC).
The LCC is a cheap and easy tool that helps determine the exact nitrogen needs of rice by comparing leaf colors to a standardized scale. Taking periodic LCC readings allows farmers to apply only the needed amount of nitrogen fertilizer, improving nitrogen use efficiency over traditional methods. Using the LCC can increase rice yields while decreasing fertilizer costs and pollution compared to applying nitrogen without considering the crop's needs. The LCC is a beneficial tool for rice farmers that improves profits through optimized nitrogen management.
High value crops Cultivation
This document summarizes a presentation on how to double farmer's income in India. It discusses that the past strategy of increasing agricultural output did not focus on raising farmer's income. It identifies key sources of increasing farmer's income both within and outside of agriculture, including improving productivity, diversifying crops, and shifting to higher value crops. The presentation specifically focuses on the potential of diversifying to microgreens, discussing how they can be profitably grown and providing a case study of a chef who started a successful microgreens business in India.
High density planting in Banana
This document discusses how high density planting (HDP) can help double farmer's income in India. It notes that traditionally, banana farms plant 2000-4000 plants per hectare, but with HDP, 4000-6000 plants can be accommodated per hectare. HDP increases banana yields from 40-60 tons per hectare traditionally to 80-120 tons per hectare. HDP reduces labor costs and allows for mechanization, improving farm efficiency and profits. While lack of dwarf varieties and disease incidence pose limitations, case studies show that HDP can increase net returns over traditional methods from Rs. 135,000 to Rs. 413,333 per hectare for banana farmers.
Herbal farming
This document discusses strategies for farmers in Rajasthan to increase their income through herbal farming, specifically aloe vera farming. It notes that regular crops grown in the drylands like bajra have low yields and profits for farmers. Cultivating high-demand medicinal plants like aloe vera provides greater financial returns due to consistent demand, lower production costs, and reduced risk of crop failure compared to traditional crops. The document recommends contract farming with private companies for assured sale prices and income. It also discusses the benefits of self-help groups for small farmers, including access to training, processing equipment, and markets. A case study highlights how one farmer in Jaisalmer increased his annual income from Rs. 2 l

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptx
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

- 17. 1.Turmeric plantation as intercrop can find application in organic farming systems to control various soil borne pests and diseases in several fruit orchards. 2.The orchard was also found to be free from termite attack after planting turmeric as intercrops in banana. 3.The turmeric root exudates curcumin which control soil borne fungus and population of trunk borer larvae. Benefits of turmeric in banana intercropping
- 18. Advantage of intercropping 1.Intercropping gives additional yield income per unit area than sole crops. 2.Inter-crops maintain the soil fertility as the nutrient uptake is made from both layers of soil. 3.Intercrops provide shade and support to the other intercrops. 4.Intercropping with cash crops with highly profitable. 5.Intercropping system utilizes resources efficiently and their productivity is increased.
- 19. Limitations of intercropping- 1.Management of intercrops is difficult. 2.Improved implement can not be use efficiently. 3.harvesting is difficult. 4.Skilled person is require.

- 21. Conclusion Hence we observe that intercropping of banana and turmeric is more beneficial as compared to the sole cropping. The benefit or the net profit in case of sole cropping is Rs. 216757. whereas in case of intercropping of banana and turmeric the net income is Rs. 540825. Hence we can see that intercropping could help in doubling the income of the farmers.
